Civil Procedure

Civil Procedure in Focus by Jeremy Counseller and Eric Porterfield uses a combination of accessible explanatory text, cases, and other primary legal sources to teach civil procedure, and then provides opportunities for students to apply the law to multiple sets of facts in every chapter. Selected cases illustrate key changes in the law and show how courts have developed and apply doctrine.
The unintimidating approach of this casebook provides a hands-on, experiential learning environment that can be essential to many students success. Through practice-based exercises, students learn to apply legal principles and concepts to real-world scenarios.
